Only people of the same ranking should be able to lobby a ranked game together.

Ranked games are as unbalanced as ever now;** it is only now possible that you can face off against a platinum player as a bronze player**. This system is totally robbing solo players and is totally not fair to anyone. It is now as hard as ever to climb the oh so slippery ladder that is, what I respectfully call, the Riot invoking ladder. Now any platinum or anyone above bronze can boost others. We now have a boosting system in the game that is inevitably being taken advantage of; now players are cheating their way up the ladder. It is especially hard for a more honest and competitive player like me to play against the odds of 5 people who can be a mix of ranks that are too far above me. We need to be able to have a system that discontinues this mess while keeping the good things about this update. _ I highly trust and respect Riot's decisions_ thus far and I have faith that they will be able to make this game last for generations on end. I really like a lot of new things they have put in except for the possibility of running into a rank that is seriously more experienced than I am and I know many people agree with me on this.

The way this should be fixed is by_** only allowing people in the same ELO to group with each other in a lobby**_. This will way better improve this new update that was given to us as well as making many solo players happier in que.

Sorry, what?

A Plat can queue with a Gold or Diamond, but not a Bronze. No premade can break that rule.

They can and here is how A bronze with silver(above average mmr) gold with silver(below average mmr) Plat with gold(really bad mmr) The mmr determines your game range. You gain nothing if located in low elos as a plat

But to really shut this guy down Look back at season 1/2 ladder system that allowed challengers to queue with bronzes- want to talk about unfair, this was a huge reason why riot went to division systems.

Lets be honest anything below g3 can be considers low elo B5-G3 all are essentially the same type of players( disagree if you like) G2-p2 all roughly same level p2-d5 all roughly same d4-d1 increasingly better at each division master-challenger top of the class, your A+ students

To continue You are matched with people of similiar mmr, your teams mmr as very close to balanced with the lesser team getting the better side of the map(bot/purple side or maybes it's blue)

You may be trying to say smurfing is killing low elo play since anyone can make additional accounts to play and rank again(d5 playing a bronze account) Yes that is hard to beat for a typical bronze.(riot has a system to group smurfs with smurfs already in place, so this doesn't happen) I really don't think many people agree with you on this, i feel this is uninformed conclusions because you lost a game

Boosting has been around and more of a thing in earlier season riot has done a number on boosting.(season 1 challenger+bronze queue)

If you disagree that is fine, but I disagree with you and this is a discussion feel free to prove me wrong note: I enjoy dynamic queue since i can queue with 3+ of my friends in a similar range to mine to play a competitive game(4 plat bros 1 gold bro) all are games are still balanced. I can say I'm glad dynamic queue is a thing

Edit: i took this seriously and then I looked you up http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/66690676#matches I didn't go thru each match, but i can clearly see a heavy loss streak. But don't blame the system if you can't carry as a support in bronze

Just don't play ranked , or even league altogether until they bring back solo queue.

Look back at season 1/2 ladder system

Stop you right there, bro.... there was no ladder system in S1, or more to the point, it was added waaaay at the end with zero balancing system that was only added in S2 where it was a lot more balanced and based on straight-up MMR, NOT brackets (I.e. numerical value (ex: 1400).

Brackets were not added until way later.
